As a totally green sewer who has never sewn in her life, I have found the Creative Bug sewing tutorials to be the absolute best. I really needed to see all the little details in the process and you did an amazing job. Thank you so much. I will probably watch this a dozen times before I actually begin this project!
She said she would walk you through it and that exactly what she did. I really enjoyed this video, cause she got right to the point she explained what she was doing and how it was done. This is the best video I've seen yet, If you can't sew after this you really can't sew.
Thank you so much for making this video, you are an excellent instructor. I learned so much from your videos. Just wonderful, I can listen to you for hours.
It's silly I'm watching this class, I've been sewing for 40 years... and I get tears in my eyes reading all the comments from people learning to sew here... I tell everybody I can about Creativebug:) The monthly $4.99 is so worth having unlimited access to the variety of classes and great teaching here! And I'm NOT being paid to say this!!!! :):):)
+Gerrie Louden .. I bought the pattern because I saw creative bug .. I don't think I would have mind paying had I known that in the beginning .. I think it was misleading // perhaps that's why others are annoyed
I'm sure it IS worth $5/ month this is an AWESOME video!!! The trickery and teasing is likely the part that is bothering most people. In a world where we can get FREE tutorials and FREE videos creative bug could actually make money through TH-cam and advertising companies rather than charging the viewers.
If Creativebug did that, they wouldn't be able to hire the top-caliber instructors they have. They put intros to classes on TH-cam to spread the word about what they have -- and doing that keeps prices down (as opposed to TV ads). Everybody wants something for nothing, and that's what I see so often in video comments. People think it's so easy to put together a class and tape it, so they think it should be free. The Craftsy site charges for each class, and some of them are pretty expensive, although they have frequent sales. Creativebug has the same variety of classes (sewing, cooking, painting, furniture refinishing, leatherworking, etc), and you can watch as many as you wish for $4.99 a month. Both sites do a phenomenal job filming what is being taught, so it's almost as good as in-person one-on-one private lessons. You also get free patterns in many cases... Yes there are some great videos out on You Tube. But not on the same level as Creativebug and Craftsy.
I agree with you 100000000000% about the quality and the price. It was a GREAT video. It helped me (very early beginner never sewed before) feel ALOT more confident sewing. It just feels kinda sneaky and tricky the way they are doing it. People don't like to be tricked or teased. The video should say "intro, to get the full video pay $5" then people wouldn't be so upset. That's all I'm saying. Nobody likes to be lured or tricked...
I just bought my first sewing machine. I was bopping around on TH-cam for some beginner videos. I came across this one this morning and was thrilled. I want to tell you that I just went to your website and signed up for premium access. I never even knew you existed! Thank you so much!!!! I'm so excited!
I love this lady, she explains everything and carefully and in ways that is so easy to get. I love simpicity and even more now that this lady is a part of this company
Firstly, thank you so much for your time and effort walking through this tutorial. I bought this exact pattern 1 month ago so now I can get started. Much appreciated.💐🍹
Just in love with the eggplant color. Definitely making this for my second skirt. This has been very helpful to me as I am a bit nervous about learning to sew.
Yes to Creative Bug as mentioned below. They have this exact video and TONS more for a free trial, then $7.95/mo after if you like it. It’s a great site! Thank you for the tip!!
After watching her share so much knowledge and expertise in Part 1not only am I hooked I am encouraged to pull out that old machine and give it a go! She articulates so well I think I can follow her in an online class... How much? Loll!!!
I want to be a Fashion Designer when I grow up when im 7 until now but I dont know how to sew clothes,but because of you I already know,Thanks for sharing your knoledge
I'm very thankful for this in the information about the topic how I get to know and how interested I am to learn more to make a pattern of the dress etc.
Am currently doing the same thing. What I did was measure 15” from waist down and using my grainline or fold line as reference, I draw an horizontal straight line across from Center front (and Center back) to the side, cut them apart add insert my extra 10”…that way, am able to conserve my hemline Good luck with it 😊
wow! i will be receiving my sewing machine here soon and have been scouting videos and blogs for beginner sewing. This is by far the most informative! thanks so much :)
I like this nice lady she is a real expert explaining every thing in details , I really learned a good deal . I would like to know where I can buy these patterns and if possible to buy them online as I live in Riyadh , Saudi Arabia and I do not know if I can find them in the stores here. Thank you very much . Majd Hennawi
sewing ws never so fun before. ur best instructor. loving this video and so wanted to see 2nd part of video. frm where I can watch that. and one more thing can u tell me model of ur sewing machine coz I really wana purchase it. ?
I have really struggled with pattern sizing due to the excessive ease. I usually use the finished garment measurents to avoid the extra 4-5 inches of ease in fitted styles. Why is there always such extra ease?
watching just a few of these sewing videos makes it seem so much simpler than when you just look at the patterns. i really feel like i'm learning. what sewing machine are you using? does anyone know?
SpookyCharms It's a Brother SB3129, they answered earlier before (or after??) you commented. My daughter has one, and it's a very good machine, especially for beginners.
This is a very helpful video, thank you. I had a question about the fusible interfacing, do you prewash it? I think I didn't in the past and I remember some funny things happening to it. Thanks in advance for your help!
hi, I have a question about the pattern instruction that says seams are 5/8", is the 5/8" seam allowance added in the pattern or you have to add another?
I'm just starting out trying to learn how to sew my own clothes. I'm very petite so my question is does simplicity make patterns for smaller than size 4?
✿ Does anybody know what exact fabric that is? ✿ I'm new to this and have no idea what to get so I want to get as close to the materials in the video as possible. Thank you very much!
Quick tip I learned the hard way. The width of the fabric bolt matters and they are not all the same width!! My (uncut) fabric was not wide enough to place all the pattern pieces properly. The part of the instructions that has the pattern layouts in two different options, they says 44" 45" or 58" 60", this means the width of the fabric bolt!!!! In this case you are supposed to buy even more fabric than the package requires. I wound up using scrap fabric for half of the pockets.
What kind of fabric is the purple skirt made of? She just says 'file type'. I buy most fabric online because I don't live near many fabric shops and I want a skirt with lots of structure like hers, so would love to know what kind to look for. Thanks!
When purchasing a sewing machine be careful of those inexpensive ones you find at the craft store as they are made with plastic parts which quickly wear out. Since machines run the gamut of prices, spend time trying them out at the various sewing machine suppliers. Different kinds of sewing require different features. If you love sewing clothing, you will want a machine that enables you to use various couture stitching, easy, neat buttonholes, sew various thickness of fabric, etc. If you are a quilter, you'll be looking for a machine that is easy to quilt on, etc. Many new machines also have embroidery and specialty stitches. Don't overlook your sewing machine repairman who may have several secondhand machines.
How do you fold the fabric? I folded mine to cut the first piece (skirt) and now the rest of the pieces don’t fit. I even got extra length. How do you do the double thickness? Is that necessary?
Hi! I notice the yoke front is cut so that it is stretchy the long way. This doesn't seen quite right, I would want my waistband to be stiff across so it doesn't stretch
I'm only 2 minutes in, but I love this lady! She is clear, precise, sure of herself. Great teacher!
She is much better than the teacher I had!!!
As a totally green sewer who has never sewn in her life, I have found the Creative Bug sewing tutorials to be the absolute best. I really needed to see all the little details in the process and you did an amazing job. Thank you so much. I will probably watch this a dozen times before I actually begin this project!

I feel like I'm attending an online class so fun!
Thank you so much for making this video, you are an excellent instructor. I learned so much from your videos. Just wonderful, I can listen to you for hours.
This woman is AMAZING! Clear and helpful, thank you so much! Enjoyed every second of it

I will say that these videos are very helpful to someone who knows NOTHING about sewing.

Melyni, I am planning to start my skirt soon. Do you want to sew together?
Ahh, I've finally found someone to teach me. Very helpful, thank you helping me with my sewing!
I love this lady, she explains everything and carefully and in ways that is so easy to get. I love simpicity and even more now that this lady is a part of this company
You are a wonderful teacher. This has been so clear, thank you!
This is a great video. Ms. Kreiling is a great teacher. Your techniques are most welcome and I am going to get back into sewing again.....thank you!
The production quality of this lesson is fantastic.
Firstly, thank you so much for your time and effort walking through this tutorial. I bought this exact pattern 1 month ago so now I can get started. Much appreciated.💐🍹

Wonderful, no nonsense instructor. I love you!
Just in love with the eggplant color. Definitely making this for my second skirt. This has been very helpful to me as I am a bit nervous about learning to sew.
Thank you so much! It was a bit of a fluke finding this video. But it's the pattern I got stuck on so glad I found it. Such clear instructions xxx
Yes to Creative Bug as mentioned below. They have this exact video and TONS more for a free trial, then $7.95/mo after if you like it. It’s a great site! Thank you for the tip!!

This was very helpful. I really enjoy your videos.

Thank you so much for this great tutorial. I would like to make this skirt in full length (Waist to the floor). How do I lengthened it please? TIA

I just love this ladys tutorials. I just soak it all up like a sponge. As I watch I keep thinking she reminds me of someone.... Judy Garland.
A really really excellent video. When I have space to cut fabric I will be back for plenty more paid videos I am sure
This is such a great tutorial but is there a second video to finish the skirt, and also the dress/top??
This was really informative and helped clear up a lot of things for me!
Well that was good. But I needed to see how the yokes were sewed on. I'm trying to do this exact one.
brilliant tutorial! you make patterns so much simpler to follow thank you.

Went to look up how to do pockets on a skirt and this is the pattern im working on. 😊
How fortuitous! Hope the skirt comes out great!
I recently purchased the pattern for the black dress you have in the background. Is there a tutorial for it?
This was so helpful, thank you very much!
wow, this is the best video so far
EXCELENTE! lamentablemente vivo en Argentina aca recibimos algunas revistas de España que tienen algunos Simplicity patterns gracias por compartir!
would've been a lot more helpful if there was footage of her cutting out the rest of the pieces, thats the main problem for me.
This is so amazing! thank you so much

For view E are pieces 3, 4 cut out on the fold to make one long piece, or cut out in the folded area making 2 short pieces each?
hi, I have a question about the pattern instruction that says seams are 5/8", is the 5/8" seam allowance added in the pattern or you have to add another?
Beautiful tutorial 🇿🇦❤️
hello, please could you tell me if the 25 inch below waist measurement is from the tip of the waistband or from the waistband seams?
I'm just starting out trying to learn how to sew my own clothes. I'm very petite so my question is does simplicity make patterns for smaller than size 4?
I think this video is good to teach kids to sew
✿ Does anybody know what exact fabric that is? ✿
I'm new to this and have no idea what to get so I want to get as close to the materials in the video as possible.
Thank you very much!
Love it I'm going to try it

Would this work for a printed border skirt? How would I adjust the pattern?
Thank you for this video
wow most yutubers make enough from advertising but am I right in thinking you charge for the second half of making the skirt?
Thank you.

Help! Could anyone tell me how i get to see the second part of this video?
How do you fold the fabric? I folded mine to cut the first piece (skirt) and now the rest of the pieces don’t fit. I even got extra length.
How do you do the double thickness? Is that necessary?
I wish she would have shown how to fold the fabric to cut pieces 2-5. Would have been helpful, I am stuck now too
Hi! I notice the yoke front is cut so that it is stretchy the long way. This doesn't seen quite right, I would want my waistband to be stiff across so it doesn't stretch
Couldn't find the second part.
Can anybody post it for me?
Does anyone knows what is the name and model of the sewing machine she is using?
what kind of sewing machine do you use?? ;-;
How do I find the second part?

Where is the second part of this instruction video?
Can you amke it by hand sowing?

Can someone help me. I'm sewing a skirt with pockets and side zipper. I have never done this before.
Never thought it will be this complicating to sew. I want one so bad. Lol
Please make a tutorial about the New Look pattern #6296
